On April 26, 2024, Cool Irvine collaborated with the City of Irvine to commemorate Arbor Day by planting trees, with the enthusiastic support of a remarkable team of volunteers. Let us remain committed to protecting our trees and environment, as trees not only sustain life by providing oxygen and habitats but also protect life by absorbing carbon dioxide.

Cool Irvine hosted its Spring Social and Vegan Cookoff on March 2nd! Participants had the opportunity to learn about the Cool Irvine/Cool OC program and the environmental impact of animal agriculture. Dr. Colin Zhu, The Chef Doc, was on hand to answer questions about the benefits of a plant-based diet.

Guests also enjoyed vegan options from Sajj Street Eats and Veggie Grill and indulged in vegan snacks generously donated by Trader Joe's. The event was a great success, fostering community learning and promoting healthier, more sustainable food choices.

Congratulations to Vasantha and Sneha, the winners of our cook-off, and thank you to all who participated and supported the event! #veganissogood
